Interesting example of the way sex is obscured in Kiwi media. In this case the person dose seem to "pass", so the description is at least recognisable. It's only the unusualness of a too dangerous for the public to approach 74 year old woman that raised my curiosity. There are many reports and appeals in relation to Bronwyn Warwick, and only the one that I've found, mentions, quite obliquely, that this is a male criminal. I think this example shows quite clearly how a person may be both vulnerable themselves (bullying, drug addiction, prostitution, subject to sexual violence) and simultaneously also dangerous to others. The vulnerability of Bronwyn Warwick to male violence clearly does not diminish their own propensity or capability to perpetrate it.
